Background: The International Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame web site was started in April 1997 as a project for my practicum in Speech-Communications.
The first inductees into the International Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame are:
All ten of these men are also inducted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame.
A partial list of awards these pro wrestlers have won can be found here.
Another excellent Hall of Fame dedicated to the sport is the Canadian Pro Wrestling Page of Fame!
There is also The Ring Chronicle's Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame.
